When Kumano, Master Yamabushi goes to war, he takes every bit of advantage over his opponents he can.

This deck hates everything (except enchantments, because we're red and have trouble removing those).

The aim is to ramp in the early game and put out one of our cards that will hurt people the longer that card sticks. This can be a damage-doubler like Furnace of Rath or Angrath's Marauders or something like Scab-Clan Berserker that will deal direct damage or even War's Toll to put all defenses down.

I have not included Blood Moonfor the simple reason that I'm playing in a casual setting and the other players do not have lots of nonbasic lands, hence it would be useless to play.

Once we're past the early-game the goal is to make the world burn, either with burn-spells or with our commander.

We have Heartless Hidetsugu in the deck to be able to close out games immediately (with one of the damage doublers).

I don't think there are infinite combos in the deck and don't really want to add some.

Comments, card suggestions, upvotes, etc are as always very much appreciated.

PS: in the sideboard you will find cards I have, but have not (yet) included in the deck. If you think one of those should go into the maindeck, feel free to tell me (also please suggest what to take out, because that will be the hardest part)PPS: in the maybeboard you will find cards that I consider adding in the future, but I do not own these yet
